I give up.

You are all right, I guess. I will be quiet now and put away my crazy ideas.

We are all ethical physicians. Our face is saved, as long as anyone who disagrees or voices an opinion different from ours is

1) Called names that kindergarten children and teenagers find very scary.

2) Labeled "car salesman" or fast-food workers.

3) Shut down and wiped out.

We will not listen to any questioners. We are right and know it all.
We must take up arms and shut down any dissenters. Sieg Heil!

In all seriousness, though, unless the field of medicine shows more professional behavior and a respectful face, the public will not believe we can police ourselves. We can't attack lawyers as greedy ambulance chasers when we condone any violations (big or small) of our own rules and standards of conduct. This is the world-wide web, accessible to everyone and anyone. Remember what you all wrote in your medical school application essays about why you wanted to go into medicine? Looks like you could put car salesmen to shame. The public already has their doubts about doctors. Showing anything less than honorable behavior will not benefit us in the fight for tort reform.

Will not anyone respond to this in a mature way? If not, then lots of luck to you & your future patients, but I am through with this forum. I Have fun.



dude, Dude DUDE! You are completely missing the point here. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PDs and THE politics of the MATCH. HOW MANY HERE DID NOT TELL A PD THAT WE WOULD RANK THEM HIGHLY WHEN ASKED. Or did you, the patrick henry of high morality, tell them "actually your program sucked and the city is a dump, I pray I don't match here." BIG FREAKING DEAL. I am not talking about cheating on a test or dropping a patient. Please keep life in perspective. I appreciate where you are coming from but your sancitominious spirit in this petty manner is down right obnoxious. Plenty of PDs told me that we would love to have me in their program, am I upset at that?!?!
